Traité Des Statuës
Traité Des Statuës is a treatise on statuary written by François Lemée and printed in 1688, held in the Cicognara collection of the Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are copperplate engravings of a chariot before a fortified gate, a burning scene with figures at a stake, and woodcut ornaments of scrolls, foliage and cartouches. A designer might take from them the contrast between dense crosshatched engraving for narrative scenes and bold black-and-white woodcut ornament for borders and headpieces.
